BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 1. A coordinated campaign against COP29 is being conducted through the X social media platform by creating fake profiles, the Azerbaijani Parliament's Temporary Commission on Countering Foreign Interference and Hybrid Threats and the Media Development Agency said in a joint statement, Trend reports.
Fake profiles using the hashtag #COP29 are manipulating content through bot systems, generating automatic responses with identical messages to mislead public opinion.
The primary aim of these activities, driven by false information, is to create the illusion of "mass discontent" regarding Azerbaijan's hosting of COP29.
In connection with COP29, which will take place in November in Baku, an effective communication strategy is being implemented to keep the public informed.
"We urge our citizens and the international community not to fall for misleading information and to rely solely on information from official sources.
The Temporary Commission on Countering Foreign Interference and Hybrid Threats and the Media Development Agency call on the 'X' social media platform to investigate this campaign of lies," the joint statement said.
